>And don't say, we need parks! I'm fairly certain that large amounts of that parkland is unused because you need to hike in pretty deep to enjoy it.

So we should monitor how far people hike into these parks? And if the number of people in a remote part of a city park falls below X number of people a day for Y days we should just bulldoze that part of the park for buildings?



It's one of the most populous, unaffordable and dense cities in the world, where people live in metal cage bunk beds because it is so unaffordable. On top of that, the majority of the land in HK is park land.

I think a few acres of park land can be developed to release pressure on the housing market so people are not forced by circumstance to live in such situations. And by developing on some park land, the deep park land will start to get some utilization.

Go look at singapore for example, they use a significantly larger amount of their land as actual city space.
